The Arizona Dental Association—if you practice dentistry in State 48, you belong here.
AzDA is the leading voice of dentistry in Arizona. We empower more than 2,500 member dentists by advocating for the profession, providing resources and savings, and supporting high-quality care for patients and communities.
Advocacy That Works
Your voice at the Capitol and with regulators.
Member Savings
Exclusive discounts on CE, resources, and practice services.
Practice Support
Tools, guidance, and help when questions come up.
Stronger Together
A statewide community that understands dentistry.
What surprises people outside of the dental profession is that not all dentists are members of the Arizona Dental Association and the American Dental Association. The truth is, some dentists have a concern, a passion, or a profession that goes beyond just being a job and beyond the four walls of their office.
Year after year, these dentists support AzDA and the ADA because they see value in being part of a community, strengthening and protecting the profession they love, and being part of something bigger than a 9-to-5 job. They want to ensure dentists can treat patients the best way they can, without outside interference from third parties who don’t know dentistry and don’t have their patients’ best interests in mind.
You may also be surprised to learn that AzDA was founded way back in 1909. Really. AzDA has been supporting dentists and defending dentistry for over 100 years. We’re one of 53 constituent and territorial societies of the ADA, and we represent over 2,000 licensed dentists in Arizona comprising every dental specialty.
Our mission is to provide leadership, resources, and advocacy to ensure the success of our members and to promote oral health. AzDA comprises three components representing different geographic sections of the state: Central Arizona Dental Society, Northern Arizona Dental Society, and Southern Arizona Dental Society.
